Not sure what to say?





I was sorry to read of George's death. He and I went to North Side together, graduated and found that we were both planning to attend A&M. We decided to room together, and did for the first semester of our Fish year. I transferred to another outfit, although we both were EE majors. I lost track of him; sorry to hear of his passing. Jack Farlow class of'56.
